The Cubs came within inches of sweeping the Rays in a redemptive three-game set. They claimed a series win, but lost 4-3 on Wednesday.

“I thought they did a really nice job against a really good team,” manager David Ross said of his players. “[The Rays’] slug finally showed up, and that’s what beat us today.
